Hot sunny afternoon, BBQ is fired up, a brew is in a chilled glass and tunes are on the deck. It's griller time. My BBQ deck is the one place in the world where I am king, the last bastion of cranky old men drinking beer everywhere. Unless of course it's a very...
Sharks on the beach?* Black Bellows is another fine Collingwood based crafter. Collingwood is known for its snow skiing but also has lots of rock beaches, and a major sand beach, that being Wasaga. So we have a land shark with a build like a young Arnold as Conan (the...
555 Brewery is located in Picton and has been around since 2017. The first time I went there was 2019 and they had this brew at that time. It is part of their mainstay of beers, The Judge, The Jury and The Verdict…. There could also be The Trial” thrown in there, but...
I was talking to Farmer Steve the other day and he thinks agriculture is a real growth industry. I told him I thought that was a home groan.* This small can brew pours golden with a nice bubbly thin white head. It has a fresh slightly hoppy aroma. First swig had nice...

This brew poured light golden and hazy with bubbles to spare up top. Mild aroma with a touch of fruit. It was a fizzy first swig. It's light on flavour, very mild fruit. The carbonation is quite pronounced although it did mellow a bit. No bite or bitters or...
Maclays Scottish Pale Ale, from the storied Scottish highlands. Maclays coat of arms on the can. Scottish flag on the can. Thistle Brewery. More Scottish than Sean Connery and Ewan McGregor playing golf together. How could you get more Scottish than that? But wait a...
On another adventure with Muskoka Mad Tom, this time he is in the desert with a canteen full of this hazy pale ale. Me, I'm scorching steaks on a unseasonably hot evening and a frosty pale ale seemed to make all kinds of sense, although a chilled glass won out over a...
